KOLKATA: The documentary, ´Ram Ke Naam´, which created a controversy during its screening at the University of Hyderabad, will now be screened by the students of film studies department of Jadavpur University. The documentary will be shown outside the World View on August 26 from 6pm.  

The director, Anand Patwardhan, is a prominent personality. The students should get an opportunity to watch his work, said a student of the department.  

Another student added, There will be no tickets and everyone will be able to watch it. Let the students themselves judge the merit of the film.  

In 2016, a screening of the Vivek Agnihotri´s film ´Buddha in a Traffic Jam´ sparked ruckus on Jadavpur University campus.  

Last week, during a screening of Ram Ke Naam in the University of Hyderabad, police entered the classroom and allegedly confiscated a laptop and detained students after it was alleged that the documentary was being screened without permission by the authorities.
